Elena started Kindergarten yesterday. I don't suppose she's any different from other first day of school-ers. She woke up early with a smile, eager to get dressed, and had her shoes on before Lucas had gotten out of bed. This is saying a lot, for those of you who know how early Lucas gets up.

The little lady thought she was already too big for a parental accompaniment into class, but I insisted that I still have a few more years before she gets to play that card. After a few token pictures were taken, she kindly let me know she was fine and that I could now go.

I've tried very hard over the past (almost) six years to not rush the time or to wish away the precious early years. I refused to count the days until she would be in school. I thought it would make me more appreciative of the moments we spent together - easier to accept the marching on of time. Unfortunately, I think it made me more selfish. I want more time with her!!! She is so amazing and sweet and smart and all of the other wonderful qualities moms attribute to their children. I just want to keep her to myself, but I won't. I'll share her.

Today was the second day of school. Elena's enthusiasm to get up at 6:30 is already waned. She pulled the covers over her head and asked if it was almost summer vacation again. Poor thing has no idea what's in store...

About Me

Hello! For those of you who have lost track-- we are currently living here in Morgantown, West Virginia. Update your address books because we'll be here for awhile (2012).
Andrew is doing his a residency at WVU in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (aka ENT). We are down to our last year here. Not that anyone is keeping count. Elena and Lucas are both in school, and number three will be here any time now. I (Alicia) have the wonderful privelage (most days) of staying home with the kids.

The darndest things...

When I asked her how the banana bread batter tasted she responded, "It's delectable."This winter Elena will enter the "Sunbeam" class at church. I asked her if she was excited to be a "sunbeam." She looked at me with a very concerned expression and said, "I don't want to be a Sunbeam, I want to be a little girl. And I want my rabbit to stay a rabbit."Lucas now lets me know when he has pooped by bending over with his head on the floor, looking up at his diaper and saying "poop, poop." I'm so proud.Elena has developed a bad habit of picking the skin off of her lips. She does this until they bleed. I saw her picking at her face one day and asked her to stop picking her lip. She replied, "Mommy, I'm not picking my lip - I'm picking my nose." So much better.Yesterday I was hosing the porch off after the kids spilled an entire bottle of bubbles and I come in to find both kids using my laundry detergent powder as a sand box. They were having fun, and my floor was very clean after wiping up the mess.

Elena came to me with her mouth wide open, cleared her throat and told me there was a frog in there and asked me to go to the doctor to get it out. Drew was there and took care of it for us.
